Home gloss

take charge of

Instead of (KJV / RSV)

be surety / be surety / take on

Note

To receive from another into one's keeping: Judah's undertaking for Benjamin (Gen 43:9; 44:32), for the Masoretic version's "pledge oneself" (עָרַב, 135s). The New Testament "wait for" (John 5:3; 1 Cor 11:33; Heb 10:13; 11:10) is decided with the New Testament (152i)
